Fox Chase Joins With Gary Barbera's on the Boulevard to 'Help Kick Cancer to the Curb'

Gary Barbera's on the Boulevard, a family owned and operated Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram car dealership in Philadelphia, will donate $50 to Fox Chase Cancer Center for every car sold during October as part of their "Kick Cancer to the Curb" program. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

"Advances in breast cancer treatment and prevention are not possible without funding to invest in innovative research and new technologies," said Richard I. Fisher, MD, president and CEO of Fox Chase Cancer Center. "We are grateful to Gary Barbera, his staff, and customers for their support of Fox Chase and the work we are doing to improve the lives of patients and families affected by breast cancer."

Each year, Breast Cancer Awareness Month brings attention to the impact of breast cancer on individuals across the United States. In 2021, an estimated 281,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in this country, along with 49,290 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer, according to breastcancer.org. It is the most common cancer in women, regardless of race or ethnicity. While the disease occurs predominantly in women, men can also develop breast cancer.

"We are incredibly blessed to have Fox Chase Cancer Center right around the corner for many, many reasons. As we observe National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Gary Barbera's on the Boulevard would like to applaud the researchers, advocates, medical professionals, and caregivers at Fox Chase Cancer Center, as well as the patients and families served," said owner Gary Barbera, who added that he particularly wanted to thank State Representative Jared G. Solomon for his support of these efforts.
